Expert Mary L. Berg said as much at the 39th annual conference of the Ontario Association of Veterinary Technicians.<\/p>\n<p>70% is a lot of cats! The only way to keep your cat from joining their ranks is to take care of their teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Dental disease can cause your cat pain, which in turn saps their quality of life, suppresses their appetite, etc. Not to mention that, if left untreated, tooth trouble in cats can cause digestive, heart, and kidney complications, just as it does in humans. Obviously that\u2019s the last thing you want for your feline friend.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you prevent it? By developing a dental hygiene plan with your veterinary team that includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Routine at-home dental care like brushing<\/li>\n<li>A dental diet<\/li>\n<li>Regular in-clinic cleanings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What is a dental diet? Special food is one of the weapons in your veterinarian\u2019s arsenal to fight dental disease in your cat. It\u2019s used to supplement at-home brushing and professional care.<\/p>\n<p>By dishing up vet-approved dental food, you\u2019ll be going a long way toward protecting your cat\u2019s oral hygiene and reducing the risk of dental disease requiring expensive dental work.<\/p>\n<p>How can you tell if your cat is suffering from a dental disease? There are a few tell-tail (!) symptoms, including bad breath, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
